boys review

Attack the Block - (2011, Joe Cornish)

If you look at this film with a different and intelectual perspective you can find many levels. I read another review that said this film brought up many race issues that are in the world today. I agree. There is a lot of mixed race in this film. In one piviotal scene, the space aliarns are chasing some children. The kids are all racing away from the aliens on different vehicles. Some use running, one uses a bike and another has a moped.  There is also a car race scene. In the end of the movie, the kids learn to stop racing away from the aliens and fight them instead. This central theme could symbolize that fighting games are smarter than racing games.
